Long wait

The original HoloLens has been out for a long time now, so a new (hopefully cheaper) version is overdue, but it now looks like we won’t see it before 2020.

Windows Core OS is a version of Windows 10 intended to run on a variety of different devices, with a modular nature that means it can come with (or without) features specific to the device it’s running on.

The idea is to create a much lighter and faster Windows operating system, and the OS is expected to appear on Microsoft’s long-rumored Andromeda smartphone.

However, it seems that Microsoft is finding the process of developing the ambitious modular operating system difficult, which is having a knock-on effect of delaying some of the company’s most interesting and innovative products. Let’s hope the development of Windows Core OS speeds up soon.
